In my career at the university, we didn't have the budgets of a commercial
operation, and our clients
(other departments or art students) were in the same boat, so I had to do
without  bracketing for the most
part - we had to be stingy on supplies. From 1980 on I bulk loaded all our
B&W and slide film except for
Kodachrome, and got very intimate with my Sekonic L-28 and Minolta spot
meter, especially for
transparencies (mainly 35mm, with some 4x5).

I know this wouldn't have worked in the "real world', but it's what we had
to do.
